== History ==
Quincy had its start in the year 1853 by the building of the New Albany Railroad (a precursor to the Monon Railroad)〔1897_in_rail_transport〕 through that territory. Many of the workers on this railroad had built homes along Brush Creek, where the railroad crossed it. William L. Hart and his wife Lucy had the area around the Brush Creek trestle surveyed for a town, which was to be named Quincy. This plat was received at the Owen County Courthouse in Spencer on June 7, 1853.〔"Platt of Quincy" June 7, 1853〕
The town of Quincy was thriving when a fire was accidentally started on November 3, 1873.〔Owen County Journal November 6, 1873〕 Most of the business district was destroyed, including three dry goods stores. Another fire occurred on May 9, 1930 which destroyed the same part of town. The buildings that were destroyed were the O.E. Stewart store, Dunkin general store, the Herbert store, the post office and two smaller buildings. This meant all five stores of Quincy were burned down. The Red Men and Knights of Pythias lodges, which held their meetings in the upper floors of two of these buildings, lost everything. Three of the buildings destroyed were two stories tall.〔The Owen Leader, May 14, 1930〕 This and the burning of the Quincy school on February 2, 1953 signaled the end of the town. The population has ranged between 200 and 300 since the Civil War.
